To launch an immediate backup:
*
Windows:
1.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the Websense bin directory (C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\bin, by default).
2.
Enter the following command.
wsbackup -b -d <directory>
*
Linux:
1.
Open a command shell and navigate to the Websense directory (/opt/Websense/, by default).
2.
Enter the following command:
./WebsenseTools -b -b -d <directory>
Here, <directory> indicates the destination directory for the backup archive.

Warning 
Do not store backup files in the Websense bin directory. This directory is deleted if you uninstall your Websense software.
When you initiate an immediate backup, any error messages and notifications are displayed on the console of the machine running the backup.
